This topic answers questions about Zencoder pricing.
Will I be charged for unsuccessful jobs?
No, you are only charged if there are successful outputs.
How do I see how many minutes I've used?
Simple. Just visit your Account page.
What is a minute? Is that how long the video is, or how long it takes to transcode?
We charge by the duration of all output files in minutes. This means that if you send us a 60 second video, and ask for two outputs, you'll be charged for two (2) minutes of video.
We do not charge based on how long a video takes to encode. That would be a crazy pricing model, because you'd have no idea how much you'd expect to pay, and we'd actually make more money if we intentionally slowed down our system. We want to be as fast as possible at all times.
Are unused minutes for the current month carried over to next month?
No, any unused minutes for the current month will be lost.
What if my video is 25 seconds long? Do I pay for a full minute?
We calculate billing in 10-second increments. So if your output was 25 seconds long, that will be rounded to 30 seconds when calculating the charge for the job.
What if I exceed my number of minutes?
You'll be charged for each additional minute at your overage rate. For most plans, the overage rate is the same rate as you pay on your plan; in other words, you aren't penalized for going over (like a cell phone) – you just keep paying at the same rate.
Why charge by the minute? Why not charge by the GB, for instance?
There are several reasons why per-minute pricing is a better model.
Output duration correlates more closely to our actual costs than GB. The input bitrate (which governs file size) doesn't actually play a huge factor in how long a video takes to encode. The output duration and resolution are the biggest factors, so we charge based on output duration (plus 2x for HD resolution videos).
This aligns our incentives. If we charged per GB out, we would not have an incentive to compress your video well. If we increased output file sizes by 10%, we'd make 10% more money.
This model makes charges predictable. If you choose constant quality encoding (which we recommend), you won't know how big your output file will be, and so you won't know how much a job will cost before sending it in.
How are transfer-only jobs priced?
To find out the charge for such jobs, you can take the input duration divided by 4 (rounded to the nearest 10-seconds) and then multiple the result by the billing rate.
The adjusted duration is the duration after the input duration is divided by 4 (rounded to the nearest 10-seconds).
What about audio minutes? What do they cost?
Audio minutes cost 1/4 the price of video minutes. So if you're on a plan that charges $0.04 per minute of video, you'll pay $0.04 for every four minutes of audio (or $0.01 per minute of audio).
Why is HD video more expensive?
HD is significantly slower and more server-intensive to encode. A HD video require 8 times the resources of a SD video. (Yes, 8x.) So we think that a 2x premium for HD video is pretty fair.
Do you charge 2x for two-pass encoding?
Nope. Two-pass encoding actually doesn't take twice as long. The first pass is just analysis, so it goes more quickly than the second pass. If you really need two-pass encoding (and most people don't), we throw in the first pass for free.
It's too expensive for me. Can I get a discount?
Our plans scale down with volume, so as you grow, you pay less per minute. If you're bigger than our largest plan on our pricing page, contact us and we'll see what we can do.
And more importantly, we do transcoding right. We accept more input files, encode more quickly, and produce higher quality video than anyone else.

Serving the society is at the core of all religions. In Sikhism 'seva' or selfless service constitutes the essence of Sikh faith. The goal of Sikh life is to go beyond any egocentric way of seeing the world and to realize the oneness of the world. Globally, Gurudwaras are known for their community services, where people regardless of their caste, creed or color are welcome. Apart from providing food and shelter, Gurudwaras are now increasingly providing free or highly subsidised medical services also.
Recently, the Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee (DSGMC) has decided to provide advanced medical care at a less than a fraction of the cost at Gurudwara Bangla Sahib. According to DSGMC President Manjinder Singh Sirsa, the facility for cheaper MRI and CT scan will be launched in November around Gurupurab. Charges would be as low as Rs 20-50. Recently, he also tweeted to confirm the same. In addition, DSGMC is also going to renovate and expand its daycare facility. The move is particularly significant in Delhi, as despite the presence of many government hospitals, hundreds of people fail to avail proper treatment and diagnosis at the right time. Belying the claims made by AAP government, there is a huge shortage of doctors in government hospitals and patients have to wait for several months for critical diagnosis and treatment.
Interestingly, Gurudwara Bangla Sahib has a remarkable history of providing health services to people. Since the 17th century it continues to focus towards healing and service of humankind. There are several anecdotes about the Gurudwara. One such story goes that in 1664, Delhi was struck by the epidemic of smallpox and cholera. During that time the eighth Sikh guru Guru Sahib Har Kishan was residing here and he decided to take people out of their suffering. He dipped his holy feet in the water and poured this water (charan amrit) into a small tank. People who took water from the tank were cured miraculously! Since then, people from near and far come here to end their suffering by taking a dip in the holy water here.
If more and more religious institutions starts working towards the benefit of society, religion could give a new meaning to humanity.


Shipping your car to Queensland?
At UGL we provide you the fastest transit times from the UK to Queensland, from only 39 days, port to port.
Our fast and reliable car shipping services includes all main ports in Australia: Fremantle, Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Darwin and Newcastle.
The key to our success in car shipping is the calibre of our people. We have been shipping cars to Australia over 40 years allowing our dedicated team to develop an extensive knowledge of the process of shipping a car to Australia.
We know that Australian paperwork and procedures can be very particular, exacting, and costly, but it can all be worthwhile. You can be sure that we will provide you with the best possible advice for the best price.
What about Cars Built Prior to 1st January 1989?
The Australian Motor Vehicles Standards Act 1989 was amended on the 1st July 1992 with respect to older vehicles. Although an import approval is still required, no other criteria need be met i.e. the car would not have to be owned and used in the originating country for more than twelve calendar months.
Vehicles must have been built prior to 1st January 1989.
What if my Car has Air Conditioning?
All vehicles with air conditioning will need to be degassed before shipping and a receipt provided as evidence. If the vehicle has HFC (R134a) gas it is possible to leave the gas in but a "Precharged Equipment Licence" will be required which will incur a licence fee of A$400.17.
It is an offence to import a new or second-hand vehicle without approval. The penalties for this offence include a fine of up to A$13,200 in addition to having to re-export or scrap the vehicle. A complete vehicle cannot be imported for 'breaking' as 'Parts'. Importation occurs when a vehicle is landed or brought within a port for the purpose of landing. Approval will not be given once a vehicle has arrived at an Australian port.
If you have any further questions don't hesitate and contact our helpful team.

Q: Input handling in WinForm What is the best way to block certain input keys from being used in a TextBox with out blocking special keystrokes such as Ctrl-V/Ctrl-C?
For example, only allowing the user to enter a subset of characters or numerics such as  A or B or C and nothing else.

A: I used the Masked Textbox control for winforms. There's a longer explanation about it here.  Essentially, it disallows input that doesn't match the criteria for the field.  If you didn't want people to type in anything but numbers, it simply would not allow them to type anything but numbers.

A: I would use the keydown-event and use the e.cancel to stop the key if the key is not allowed. If I want to do it on multiple places then I would make a user control that inherits a textbox and then add a property AllowedChars or DisallowedChars that handle it for me. I have a couple of variants laying around that I use for time to time, some allowing money-formatting and input, some for time editing and so on.
The good thing to do it as a user control is that you can add to it and make it to your own killer-text-box. ;)

A: This is how I handle this usually.
Regex regex = new Regex("[0-9]|\b");
e.Handled = !(regex.IsMatch(e.KeyChar.ToString()));

That will only allow numerical characters and the backspace.  The problem is that you will not be allowed to use control keys in this case.  I would create my own textbox class if you want to keep that functionality.

A: I found the only working solution ended being doing a pre-check of the keypress in the ProcessCmdKey for Ctrl-V,Ctrl-C, Delete or Backspace, and the doing a further validation if it was not one of these keys in the KeyPress event by using a regular expression.
This is probably not the best way but it worked in my circumstance.
protected override bool ProcessCmdKey(ref Message msg, Keys keyData)
{
    // check the key to see if it should be handled in the OnKeyPress method
    // the reasons for doing this check here is:
    // 1. The KeyDown event sees certain keypresses differently, e.g NumKeypad 1 is seen as a lowercase A
    // 2. The KeyPress event cannot see Modifer keys so cannot see Ctrl-C,Ctrl-V etc.
    // The functionality of the ProcessCmdKey has not changed, it is simply doing a precheck before the
    // KeyPress event runs
    switch (keyData)
    {
        case Keys.V | Keys.Control :
        case Keys.C | Keys.Control :
        case Keys.X | Keys.Control :
        case Keys.Back :
        case Keys.Delete :
            this._handleKey = true;
            break;
        default:
            this._handleKey = false;
            break;
    }
    return base.ProcessCmdKey(ref msg, keyData);
}

protected override void OnKeyPress(KeyPressEventArgs e)
{
    if (String.IsNullOrEmpty(this._ValidCharExpression))
    {
        this._handleKey = true;
    }
    else if (!this._handleKey)
    {
        // this is the final check to see if the key should be handled
        // checks the key code against a validation expression and handles the key if it matches
        // the expression should be in the form of a Regular Expression character class
        // e.g. [0-9\.\-] would allow decimal numbers and negative, this does not enforce order, just a set of valid characters
        // [A-Za-z0-9\-_\@\.] would be all the valid characters for an email
        this._handleKey = Regex.Match(e.KeyChar.ToString(), this._ValidCharExpression).Success;
    }
    if (this._handleKey)
    {
        base.OnKeyPress(e);
        this._handleKey = false;
    }
    else
    {
        e.Handled = true;
    }

}

A: You could use the TextChanged event for the textbox.
    private void txtInput_TextChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        if (txtInput.Text.ToUpper() == "A" || txtInput.Text.ToUpper() == "B")
        {
            //invalid entry logic here
        }
    }

Islamic Jihad Not Hamas the Most Prominent Threat to Israel from Gaza. By Manish Rai
The ceasefire between Israel and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) has taken effect in the Gaza Strip after days of cross-border fighting triggered by surprise Israeli airstrikes. The Israel Defence Forces (IDF) said its aerial bombardment was a pre-emptive action aimed at preventing rocket attacks planned by PIJ against Israeli targets. In retaliation to airstrikes, Islamic Jihad militants fired more than 1,000 rockets at Israel, forcing residents of southern areas and major cities including Tel Aviv fleeing to bomb shelters. Israeli Prime Minister Yair Lapid said in a televised statement that the entire senior military command of Islamic Jihad in Gaza was successfully eliminated and all our goals were achieved. PIJ is a relatively smaller armed group compared to Hamas which rules Gaza. But still PIJ is proving to be the most prominent threat emerging from Gaza to Israelis. Last year, also in conflict with Israel, PIJ emerged as a dark horse. Despite losing top operatives as well as military infrastructure, the PIJ managed to keep firing a large barrage of rockets until a ceasefire came into effect. This time also Islamic Jihad kept on firing rockets despite overwhelming Israeli air strikes.
Palestinian Islamic Jihad was founded in 1981 as an offshoot of the Muslim Brotherhood. Despite being operational for more than four decades, the PIJ remains one of the most important yet least understood Palestinian armed factions historically and ideologically. The group has emerged as the second-largest armed movement in the Gaza Strip. The group has a reputation for being small and highly secretive, which makes it less prone to infiltration by Israeli intelligence services. Islamic Jihad consists of a leadership council and a military wing, called the al-Quds Brigades. But unlike other militant groups such as Hamas and Hezbollah, which maintain extensive political and social apparatuses alongside their military wings. PIJ focuses exclusively on military activity and wishes to be seen as an elite vanguard rather than a broad community-based movement. Also, the outfit is opposed to any political engagement with Israel.
Hamas, which gained full control of the Gaza strip in 2007 from Fatah is often limited in its ability to act militarily against Israel. Because it bears responsibility for running the day-to-day affairs of Gaza. The coastal enclave is often in the news because of its Humanitarian hardships. Islamic Jihad has no such limitations and has emerged as the more militant and radical faction, often undermining Hamas authority. Islamic Jihad has become the driving force in rocket-fire confrontations with Israel. Indeed, it is known to unilaterally pick fights with Tel Aviv without taking any other resistance group into confidence. In recent times, the PIJ has tried to outflank Hamas by presenting itself as a more radical opponent of Israel.
In fact, according to Israeli media reports, the group is already winning in the firepower stakes. Meaning that while Hamas is believed to have far more long-range and precise rockets than the PIJ — the latter is in possession of some 8,000 short-range rockets including some anti-tank missiles. Incidentally, most of its weapons are now locally produced in Gaza, and in recent years it has developed an arsenal to rival that of Hamas, including some longer-range rockets capable of striking Tel Aviv.
PIJ's strategy to confront Israel is simple: it tries to overwhelm the Israeli state-of-the-art Iron Dome missile defence system by the sheer volume of simultaneously fired projectiles. Many of its rockets are so cheap and easy to manufacture, in some cases requiring little more than a metal casing and an explosive, that the PIJ has managed to accumulate them in significant numbers. So, even if Israel successfully stops all outward weapons supplies coming into Gaza — the PIJ's homegrown capabilities will allow it to bombard Israel with rocket fire for weeks, if not months. Palestinian Islamic Jihad has moved towards entirely indigenous production, often manufacturing both the weapons and explosives out of raw materials readily available in the Gaza Strip.
The Islamic Jihad leadership firmly believes that it has nothing to lose and everything to gain by escalating tensions with Israel. As it will be seen as leading resistance from the Palestinians against the Zionist state. The Gaza Strip is currently suffering from an acute economic crisis. The cost of living is high and unemployment is spiralling. So Hamas rightly believes, at least for now, that calm is required to allow the people of Gaza some breathing space. Hamas at this point in time wants to strengthen its regime by improving the living conditions for the Gazans. And then slowly increase its influence to the West bank by showcasing themselves as efficient administrators. But if Hamas tries to stop and curtain Islamic Jihad at this stage, before the region gets hotter still, it will be accused of collaborating with Israel. This leaves the leaders of Hamas caught between a rock and a hard place. But if it let Islamic Jihad to carry on wild with its operations against Israel, that will likely lead to a harsh Israeli response. Nevertheless, Hamas will soon have to make tough choices if it does not wish to be ousted from the Gaza driving seat. And this means taking effective measures to prevent the PIJ's independence and curbing self-serving activities.

Editing the genome to correct a genetic defect in live animals, blood vessels grown from cultured skin cells, and TB vaccine improves diabetes.
For the first time, researchers have used a precise method of editing the genome to correct a genetic defect in live animals. In this case, researchers treated mice with hemophilia, replacing a blood clotting protein called human factor 9. After the treatment, the mice produced enough of the protein to make their blood clot normally.
The editing technology relies on proteins known as zinc fingers, which bind to specific pieces of DNA to regulate nearby genes. By engineering different zinc fingers and attaching them to a gene cutting enzyme, researchers have created precise editing tools that can snip a specific piece of the genome and insert a new gene. Researchers hope the technology will help overcome one of the major problems with existing forms of gene therapy, which allow the gene to insert itself into the genome randomly. That can disrupt important genes, in some cases causing leukemia.
[Katherine High, a hematologist and gene therapy expert at The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia] said it was too soon to try the technique in people, given that an adequate treatment for hemophilia already exists. She plans to test it next in dogs, which are a standard model for new hemophilia treatments. One of the possible problems with the technique is that the zinc fingers sometimes cut at sites other than the intended target site.
Three dialysis patients in Poland have been successfully implanted with blood vessels grown from cultured skin cells. The engineered essels, which were about a foot long and nearly five millimeters wide, were used as shunt to provide access to the blood for dialysis. Shunts created from patients' own vessels or synthetic materials are notoriously prone to failure, according to a release from the American Heart Association.
At follow-up exams up to eight months after implantation, none of the patients had developed an immune reaction to the implants, and the vessels withstood the high pressure and frequent needle punctures required for dialysis.
Investigators previously showed that using vessels individually created from a patient's own skin cells reduced the rate of shunt complications 2.4-fold over a 3-year period. The availability of off-the-shelf vessels could avoid the expense and months-long process involved in creating custom vessels for each patient, making the technique feasible for widespread use.
The blood vessels, which are made by Cytograft Tissue Engineering, could provide a cheaper alternative to those made from a patient's own cells. "This version, built from a master donor, is available off the shelf and at a dramatically reduced cost," estimated at $6,000 to $10,000, Cytograft Chief Executive Todd McAllister told the Associated Press. The grafts also have the potential to be used in lower limb bypass to route blood around diseased arteries, to repair congenital heart defects in pediatric patients, and to fix damaged arteries in soldiers, who might otherwise lose a limb, said McAllister.
A TB vaccine improves type 1 diabetes.
A small clinical trial of people with severe type 1 diabetes shows that bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG), a generic drug developed as a vaccine against tuberculosis, can reverse the disease, at least temporarily.
BCG is known to elevate levels of the immune modulator tumor necrosis factor (TNF), which previous work in Faustman's lab showed can temporarily eliminate the abnormal white blood cells responsible for type 1 diabetes in both humans and mice.
Most participants treated with BCG showed increases in both the death of autoreactive T cells and in levels of the protective regulatory T cells. A temporary but statistically significant elevation in C-peptide levels, suggesting a restoration of insulin production, was also observed in the BCG-treated patients. Unexpectedly, the same responses were seen in one of the placebo-treated patients who, after enrolling in the study, coincidently developed infection with the Epstein-Barr virus, which is known to induce expression of TNF.


JASON HANSSON, M.D., LEO SALDIVAR, M.D., CRAIG KAISER, M.D.; DEFENDANTS.
Plaintiff, a prisoner proceeding pro se, filed a complaint alleging he had been denied necessary psychiatric care. Defendant C. Kaiser, a staff psychiatrist at R. J. Donovan State Prison ("Donovan") where Plaintiff is being held, filed a motion to dismiss. Plaintiff also named two other Defendants, although he has never served them nor have they appeared.
The motion to dismiss was referred to Magistrate Judge Cathy Ann Bencivengo for a report and recommendation, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B) and Civil Local Rule 72.3(a). On March 14, 2008, Judge Bencivengo issued her report and recommendation (the "R&R"), finding Plaintiff had not exhausted his administrative remedies and recommending dismissal without prejudice on that basis.
The district court has jurisdiction to review the Magistrate Judge's report and recommendation concerning a dispositive pretrial motion. Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b). "The district judge to whom the case is assigned shall make a de novo determination upon the record, or after additional evidence, of any portion of the magistrate judge's disposition to which specific written objection has been made in accordance with this rule." Id.; see also 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C). "A judge of the court may accept, reject, or modify, in whole or in part, the findings or recommendations made by the magistrate judge." 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C). "The statute makes it clear that the district judge must review the magistrate judge's findings and recommendations de novo if objection is made, but not otherwise." United States v. Reyna-Tapia, 328 F.3d 1114, 1121 (9th Cir. 2003) (en banc).
Plaintiff filed no timely opposition to the motion to dismiss.*fn1 On March 20, 2008, however, his opposition was accepted for filing nunc pro tunc to March 13, 2008.*fn2 The opposition is significantly late without explanation or excuse, and no motion to extend the time for filing the opposition was filed. Although the Court construes the pleadings liberally, "[p]ro se litigants must follow the same rules of procedure that govern other litigants." King v. Atiyeh, 814 F.2d 565, 567 (9th Cir. 1987). Plaintiff has filed no objection to the R&R. The Court therefore construes his late-filed opposition as his objections to the R&R.
Plaintiff filed his complaint in this case on August 1, 2007. Summonses as to Defendants Saldivar and Hansson were returned unexecuted on January 2, 2008, and Plaintiff has made no subsequent attempt to serve these Defendants.
The R&R recommended dismissal without prejudice of claims against these Defendants under Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(m) for failure to timely serve them with process. This recommendation provided Plaintiff with notice his claims against these Defendants might be dismissed under rule 4(m), and he was given an opportunity to respond. Plaintiff has not objected to this recommendation or otherwise attempted to show good cause for his failure to serve these Defendants, and the Court finds the recommendation correct.
Plaintiff, in both his complaint and his opposition (which the Court construes as his objections to the R&R), merely asserted he properly exhausted his remedies. The only specific fact supporting this conclusion was his assertion he sent "documentation" to the head of health care services for the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation. (Compl. at 6; Opp'n at 2:9--13.) He does not explain what documentation he sent or when he sent it, whether before or after filing suit. In his complaint, he says his requests were partially granted. (Compl. at 6.) He provided no evidence in support of any of these contentions.

Big Dutchman: Are You Paying Attention To Your People?
Big Dutchman launches Regional Management Development Programme to help their staff maximise their professional growth
With so many companies historically dedicating their strategies to a great business model, a unique selling point (USP) and market share, a new pattern has emerged in which organisations are paying more attention to recognising the value of their people.
As Big Dutchman Asia president, Jan Hofstede puts it:
"You can have the fanciest and most expensive car in the world, but without the right driver, it is useless."
That is to say that no matter what processes and structure you have in place, it is ultimately the working standards of your talent that will be the greatest determiner of your success.
That is why Big Dutchman has launched its Regional Management Development Programme (MDP) to ensure that its employees become the best drivers to help the company move forward. As an organisation that has always valued internal growth, the new programme will meet the development needs of its people.
Culture of growth
Where previously many people spent their entire career working in the same field or even in the exact same job, today's fast-moving marketplace sees greater flexibility of staff willing to take on new roles.
Given the right circumstances, the new role often energises both the employee and the company.
During his time with Big Dutchman, Hofstede has seen plenty of employees knocking on his door and asking for a fresh start in a new department.
Big Dutchman Asia president, Jan Hofstede.
We have a motto around here, which is 'let's try it for a year', he said.
"If one of the employees comes to me and says that he or she would like to switch departments or take on a new role, we will give the person that opportunity.
After a year, if it's not working, we can review it and see if the person would be better going back to his or her previous position. But I believe in giving people that fair chance."
To use a football analogy, Arsène Wenger purchased a young left winger from Juventus in 1999, but saw the potential in him to be a prolific goalscorer if he is made striker.
During his time at Arsenal, Thierry Henry would then go on to score 175 Premier League goals, becoming the highest-scoring foreign player in the league's history.
Could the next Thierry Henry be waiting in your company but stuck in the wrong role?
Those hidden gems within an organisation can too often be overlooked by many leaders today, who tend to hire somebody with experience externally, than giving an existing talent the opportunity.
One person at Big Dutchman who has seen no shortage of mobility across departments is Ewan Tong, who is also part of the newly launched MDP.
Joining the company as a fresh-faced university graduate 12 years ago, Tong worked in sales coordination, before taking on a variety of roles and ultimately attaining his current position as director of customer solutions.
"Of course, one does not get to the role I am in now without some luck, but also somebody believing in you and giving you the opportunities," he admits.
"The guidance that I have received during my time here is what has helped me to develop and grow myself professionally."

Freedom to make mistakes
Naturally, any new role will come with its share of teething problems. Thierry Henry failed to score in his first eight games in an Arsenal shirt, but Wenger never lost faith in the young Frenchman.
Similarly at Big Dutchman, Hofstede has always believed in giving his employees that responsibility to make their own mistakes and learn from them.
"We give people a lot of freedom and opportunities to try to maximise their potential. People will make mistakes, but so long as you don't make the same mistake twice then that is not necessarily a problem. If you don't make a mistake, you don't learn," he said.
And Tong admits that his road to the top has not always been a straight path, with plenty of learning experiences along the way.
I have never been micromanaged here. The management believes in trusting their people and giving them the freedom to do their job, he said.
"When I have needed him, Hofstede has always been there to offer the encouragement and advice that gave me the confidence to do my job. I may have had some stumbling blocks along the way, but without those, I wouldn't have learnt the lessons that I have."

Employees growing with the company
Naturally, in today's fast-paced business landscape, companies are having to change rapidly to keep up with the times. Whether this is a revamp of approach or internal structures, the need to innovate and alternate is greater than ever.
For long-serving employees in an organisation, this will undoubtedly mean that they have seen their fair share of overhauls throughout their tenure.
Many are richer and wiser for the experiences. Allowing your employees to grow with the company and become a part of that journey are essential towards building professional pride and engagement.
With the expansion of Big Dutchman globally and in order to keep pace with the top employers in the region, the company has recognised its need to continually upsksill its talent. Ever the HR innovators, the new programme's impact is expected to be felt for years to come.
In his 25 years at the helm of Big Dutchman Asia, Hofstede has overseen no shortage of changes with huge growth in the company both regionally and globally.
Joining in the early 90s, Hofstede was one of only three employees at the Asia branch at the time. Today, there are over 300 workers in their stunning office on the outskirts of Setia Alam.
"We always believe that with the right people in place, we can continue to capture our growth and find other ways to get bigger," he said.
"There is always more market out there for us to grab, but it will be the people here that determine how we go about that, which is why we have always been people-centric."
Commercial operations personal assistant Jase Chin is another MDP participant and a long-serving member of Big Dutchman. At that time, she was one of only four sales coordinators and she has held various positions within the company since joining them in 2002
"Fifteen years ago, when I first joined this company I never could've imagined I'd be where I am now," she said.
"There has been a lot of change in that time, for both myself and the company but they have always believed in me strongly."
"I have seen myself grow a lot over the years thanks to the opportunities that have been given to me. Even after 15 years, I am still learning and seeing the company grow," she added.
As your company progresses, so do your employees. Give them that chance to grow and share in the journey.
Whether it is recognising the untapped potential within the organisation or giving them the freedom to make mistakes; your people are your best asset.
They are the ones that will be driving the car. So, hand them the keys and watch them accelerate.

The concept of black magic in Islam
September 7, 2013 'Aqaid [139]
Answered by Molana Ishaaq Hussain
Assalamualaikum, My question is regarding the concept of black magic in Islam. Also, if someone is feared to be under the spell, how that person can and should be treated in the light of The Holy Quran and Hadiths. Also, I would like to know the significance of amulets with Holy couplets. Are the valid and alright for Muslims to wear them?
There are two things to look at from your question.
The concept of black magic in Islam.
Using a Taweez.
In the terminology of the Holy Quran and Hadeeth, Sihr (magic) refers to all those usual happenings which have been brought about with the active help of the devils (Shayateen), won over through certain practices likely to please them. There are several ways of pleasing the devils. Sometimes one sings in the praises of the devils, and sometimes recites formulas of a heretical nature which deny Allah or associate others with him. The worship of stars and planets also pleases the devils, as do certain evil deeds for example, preparing a charm with the blood of a person killed unlawfully, or refusing to adopt the prescribed modes of purifying oneself, or living constantly in the state of impurity. (Ma'ariful Quran p 270 v 1)
Sihr (Magic) also took place in the time of the Prophet of Allah . This evil act was also implemented on the Holy Prophet .
Musnad of Ahmad records that a Jewish person cast a magical spell on the Prophet of Allah as a result of which he felt ill. Jibrail Alaihis Salam came and informed him that a Jew had cast a spell on him. That he ties knots in his hair to accomplish this objective, and it is thrown into a particular well. The Prophet of Allah sent some of his companions to bring it from the well Jibrail Alaihis Salam had described. The Prophet of Allah untied the knots, and he was instantly cured. Jibrail Alaihis Salam informed the Prophet of Allah of the culprits name and the Prophet of Allah knew the culprit, but it was not in keeping with his compassionate disposition to avenge anyone in his personal matter. (Ma'ariful Quran p 919 v 8)
One should protect themselves by offering the five daily prayers and performing good deeds. Also make a habit of reciting Surah Falaq and Surah Naas. Imam Malik narrates from Saaidah Aisha that ''whenever the Prophet of Allah suffered from an ailment, he would recite the Muwadhatain (Surah Falaq and Surah Naas), blow over his hands and then wipe his whole body with those hands. When this pain became severe on his deathbed, I would recite the Muwadhatain, blow over his hands, and then he wipes them over himself because my hands could not be a fitting substitute for his blessed hands.'' (ibid)
The general signs of a person suffering from black magic are that his or her behaviour might become strange. This strangeness in behaviour could be in terms of speaking or acting in a bizarre manner, or arguing with one's spouse on trivial and petty issues. Like the sorcerers of Babylon who learnt magic to separate a husband from his wife as mentioned in the Holy Qur'an. (Surah Baqarah v.102)
Using taweez is permissible with the following conditions:
It does not contain words of Kufr and Shirk.
Everything happens by the will of Allah and the use of taweez is just a means similar to using medicine for illness. Jabir ibn Abdullah narrates that Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) said: "There is a remedy for every illness, and when the remedy is applied to the disease it is cured with the permission of Allah, the Exalted and Glorious." ( Sahih Muslim p 225 v 2)
It is narrated in Abu Dawud (1782) that Abdullah ibn Amr Radiyallahu Anhu used to hang a protective invocation taught by the Prophet of Allah around the necks of his young children.
The conclusion we come too, is that using Taweez is permissible only when the above two conditions are found. There must be no sort of traces of Kufr or Shirk within the taweez. One must also keep in mind that Shifa (cure) lies only with Allah, and if Allah wills he will grant Shifa, using a taweez is just a means which is similar to using medicine when one is suffering from a illness.
Jabir ibn Abdullah Radiyallahu Anhu narrates that the Prophet of Allah said:"There is a remedy for every illness, and when the remedy is applied to the disease it is cured with the permission of Allah, the Exalted and Glorious." ( Sahih Muslim p 225 v 2)

3 questions with Fotini Christia, the new Chair of the Social & Engineering Systems PhD program
Fotini Christia is a professor of political science and faculty member of the Institute for Data, Systems, and Society. Her research interests deal with the political economy of conflict and development in the Muslim world and she has done extensive experimental, survey, and big data research on Afghanistan, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Iraq, and Yemen.
In addition to chairing the Social & Engineering Systems PhD program, she directs the Sociotechnical Systems Research Center (SSRC) within IDSS.
What are some societal challenges you are addressing in your research?
My research examines how individuals, groups, and institutions in embattled societies shape and are shaped by conflict. I am primarily interested in how cooperation emerges in violently contested environments, and what role identity, material incentives, networks, and institutions play in that process. I have used randomized controlled trials and lab-in-the-field experiments to examine the role of development aid interventions in promoting post-conflict reconstruction and reconciliation in different areas of the Muslim world including Afghanistan, Bosnia-Herzegovina, and Iraq. I have also explored the differential effects of such aid interventions on women.
In more recent collaborative work with colleagues and students from IDSS, we have used big networked data out of hard-to-access conflict areas. One project with SES student Paolo Bertolotti and professor Ali Jadbabaie of CEE and IDSS examines the social network effects of drone strikes using Call Detail Records from a major cellphone network in Yemen. Another project with SES student Erin Walk and IDSS postdoctoral fellow Kiran Garimella uses social media data from Twitter and Telegram to capture violence narratives out of northern Syria after the defeat of ISIS.
With the onset of COVID-19 and the inability to do research in the field, I have also turned to social media for subject recruitment. In an ongoing project on the effects of a media campaign against gender-based violence in Egypt, we recruited female participants using Facebook ads and incentivized them to take online surveys on women's empowerment through WhatsApp.
What are the strengths of applying both data science and social science methods to these challenges?
Looking at these big societal challenges through a cross-disciplinary lens allow us to harness diverse methodologies around data to best address shared questions of interest that are of real importance. A rich understanding of the underlying motivation and the micro-dynamics at work is what enables us to theorize the broader picture. Directly informing the work with findings from the social sciences offers us an opportunity to better inform our hypotheses, test our algorithms and research protocols, validate our measurement choices, and contextualize our results.
What is your vision for the Social & Engineering Systems PhD program?
I am delighted to be working with a group of such talented graduate students. My objective is to ensure they take advantage of the holistic and well-rounded curriculum of the SES Program so as to enable them to do cutting edge research that is very much focused on "data for the people." Our SES grads are a group of scholars that take on society's big challenges, ranging from inequality and misinformation, to climate change, economic development, and technology policy. SES student research makes substantive empirical and methodological advances on pressing real-world issues. To that effect, their work is cross-disciplinary research at its best, and their training makes them excellent candidates for a diverse set of academic positions, as well as for jobs in the industry and government.

NACDS Welcomes CMS' Move on MTM, Pushes for Improved Medication Use to Benefit Patient Care
By: NACDS.org Staff | Sep-29-15
Arlington, Va. – The National Association of Chain Drug Stores (NACDS) yesterday welcomed action by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) that could spur advancement of medication therapy management (MTM). While NACDS is reviewing with member companies CMS' latest action, NACDS urged Congress and the Administration to continue to pursue opportunities to put pharmacist-provided MTM to work immediately to help improve patient health and to benefit from reduced healthcare costs.
NACDS and our allies know that MTM can go a long way toward helping patients get and stay healthy.
"NACDS and our allies know that MTM can go a long way toward helping patients get and stay healthy, and toward addressing the $290 billion in annual costs that are associated with not taking medications as prescribed," said NACDS President and CEO Steven C. Anderson, IOM, CAE. "That is why NACDS is advocating for the Medication Therapy Management Act (S. 776), and that is why NACDS has advocated consistently for MTM programs in the Affordable Care Act – including the passage and subsequent implementation of patient-centered comprehensive medication reviews in Medicare Part D plans, which will further reinforce the importance of patients taking their medications as prescribed."
CMS yesterday announced the "Part D Enhanced Medication Therapy Management (MTM) model," which CMS described as "an opportunity for stand-alone basic Prescription Drug Plans in selected regions to offer innovative MTM programs, aimed at improving the quality of care while also reducing costs."
The program is scheduled to begin January 1, 2017, and CMS will evaluate the results of new approaches to MTM over the course of five years, to help "achieve better alignment of PDP sponsor and government financial interests, while also creating incentives for robust investment and innovation in better MTM targeting and interventions."
Reports by the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) and by CMS, as well as articles in Health Affairs and the Journal of American Pharmacists, offer further support that appropriate medication use can improve health while lowering costs.
"We look forward to learning more about CMS' announcement when they go into more detail in the October webinar that they announced today. We want to identify exactly how this fits into a comprehensive vision to help patients benefit from MTM – particularly those patients who have the most to gain from improved medication use," said Anderson.

An FCT High Court in Bwari has fixed April 3 for hearing in a contempt suit filed against the national chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Adams Oshiomole and the party.
The plaintiff, Daniel Nwafor, the chairman of the APC in Imo state, instituted the suit following alleged disobedience of the court judgment which recognized him as the authentic chairman of the party in the state.
The judgment was given in a suit filed by one Evans Enwerem in 2018 challenging the conduct of the Ward, Local Government and State congresses of the APC in Imo State.
The court, after hearing the case, dismissed it and granted the reliefs as asked for by Nwafor with the court restraining APC and Oshiomole from tampering with the tenure of Nwafor as chairman.
However, in December 2018, Oshiomole sought to sack the Nwafor-led executive against the order of court, which led Nwafor to file a contempt suit against Oshiomole and the APC.
Oshiomole through his counsel, Damian Dodo (SAN) had subsequently filed a preliminary objection challenging the jurisdiction of the court .
When the matter came up on February 17, the plaintiff prayed the court to hear the contempt charge first while the defense however asked the court to hear the preliminary objection it filed first.
The court later intervened to first hear the objection challenging the contempt proceedings.
The trial judge, Justice Othman Musa while adjourning the matter held that court orders are meant to be obeyed until such orders are set aside and adjourned the matter to March 20.
However, following the absence of the judge today, the court, in agreement with the counsels in the case, fixed April 3 as the new date for the hearing of the suit.

I know, I know....we're well into 2015 and here I am posting a 2014 NYE blog. Let's just say I've still been sewing, taking pictures, and loving life. My family (mom,dad, sister, and brother) and I went to see Rickey Smiley and Friends perform at a venue in Houston for NYE 2014. We had a blast and we brought in the new year truly laughing out loud (LOL).
The dress was self drafted and brought on a slight headache because it was so self drafted. All the steps I'm used to reading beforehand when following a pattern was no available to me since I was designing my own garment. After sketching the dress in my croquis binder, I used a basic shirt block for a knit to make the top. The cowl was where I experienced the most difficulty. Now, that part was used from Vogue 1374. The bottom of the dress was drafted on my dress form before stabilizing and attaching it to the top. Since this picture I've made a dress (which I'll post much sooner) with two cowls that were self drafted. It was a much easier process.
The leopard fabric was purchased from JoAnn's last spring or summer and the kidney shaped sequins was purchased from a fabric vendor located in Dallas, TX.

Leaves have blotches or 'tunnels' inside the leaf. These are often brown or white in colour. In some cases you can see the black 'frass' of the larvae within the mine, or possible spot the larvae itself.
Leaf miners are the larvae of several different types of insect, including flies, beetles and moths. Adults lay their eggs on, or in, the leaves. The larvae hatch and mine into the leaf in order to feed from it. The larvae then pupates (which may happen within the leaf, attached to the outside of the leaf, or elsewhere (eg on the ground)) before emerging as an adult.
The mines are unsightly by rarely cause serious damage. If a young seedling is badly mined then there may not be enough leaf tissue left for the plant to photosynthesise effectively, which can cause the seedling to wilt and die.
Leaf miners are found on a wide range of plants, growing both outside and under glass.
For crops and smaller plants a covering of horticultural fleece or fine mesh can provide a barrier to stop the adults laying eggs on your plants.
Various weeds can be hosts for leaf miners, so ensure you remove any weeds which may spread an infection to your other plants.
Dig over the soil underneath the affected plant in the winter, which may help to destroy overwintering pupae in the soil (though not all species overwinter in the soil).
Remove the affected leaves and destroy them (not on your compost heap). Collect and destroy any fallen leaves.
Contact insecticides may be effective if applied when the miner is a larvae, but this depends on the species of leaf miner you are dealing with.
Biological controls are available for some species of leaf miner when they occur in glasshouses.
Leaf miners themselves have little benefit to the gardener, however the adults they turn into are generally beneficial insects, helping to control pests and, in some cases, pollinate plants.

Q: Symfony 2 form field radio required=false? This is part of my entity class :
/**
 * @var integer
 *
 * @ORM\Column(name="student", type="integer", nullable=true)
 */
private $student;

This part of my form class :
 $builder
    ->add('student', 'choice', ['label'=> false,
    'expanded' => true,
    'choices' => (Array)new StudentEnum(),
   ])
        ;

Ad this is output :
<input id="xxxxx_0" type="radio" value="4" required="required" name="xxxxx[student]">
<label class="required" for="xxxxxV_student_0">Nie</label>

...
My problem is that my input tag should not have attribute "required" becouse I have set nullable=true in entity.

A: As described here,
required
type: Boolean default: true

required option default value is set to true, so you should then set it to false.
builder->add('student', 'choice', array(
          'label'=> false,
          'expanded' => true,
          'required' => false,
          //...
   ))
;

Also, you can read from documentation that,

This is superficial and independent from validation. At best, if you let Symfony
  guess your field type, then the value of this option will be guessed from your
  validation information.

You need then to set a validation rule that take into account the fact that your field should not be required in order to let your form set the right value of required.
This may probably help.

A: The solution is required => false and empty_value => false
$builder
        ->add('student', 'choice', [
                'label'=> false,
                'expanded' => true,
                'choices' => (Array)new StudentEnum(),
                'required' => false,
                'empty_value' => false
        ]);

A: Since Symfony 3.0 empty_value is removed and you need to use placeholder instead:
 $builder
        ->add(
              'student',
              'choice',
              [
                'label'=> false,
                'expanded' => true,
                'choices' => (Array)new StudentEnum(),
                'required' => false,
                'placeholder' => null
              ]
         );


On December 4, I was thrilled to have the opportunity to attend the National Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony at the President's Park in Washington, D.C. Through Google's Made with Code program, girls like me had the opportunity, for the first time in history, to code the lights that appear on the 56 state and territory trees in front of the White House. At the event, it was fascinating to see all the beautiful, sparkling lights in person. I also couldn't believe how close we were to President Obama and the First Family. This is one of the most memorable experiences I've ever had!
Before the event, I made sure to check out the Made with Code website. Although I had not tried coding before, I know how important of a skill it is. When I attended the Virginia Girls Summit, held annually at George Mason University, one of the exhibitors told me, "Everyone needs to take a class about coding. It will help you prepare for the future." The world around us is changing and us girls need to be as prepared for the job market as we can. On the Made with Code site, I ended up trying all three activities: coding a Christmas tree, monster and snow flake. I had a lot of fun, making each image my own by changing the code specifications and then seeing my image become animated. I think my mom, who tried the activities with me, had just as much fun on the website as I did!
Everything at the President's Park was so elegant, which set the stage for the rest of the program. It was so thrilling to see Tom Hanks, the host for the concert, along with all the other amazing artists. The best part of the program was seeing President Obama dance with all the singers and Santa at the end of the concert!
After it ended, I had the opportunity to attend the Made with Code reception. Everything was so surreal during the reception because me and my Girl Scout buddy had a chance to meet some of the celebrities, including Fifth Harmony, Afro-Norwegian singing/songwriting duo Nico and Vinz, and singer Ne-Yo.
After my experience, I was encouraged to try an Hour of Code with the website Khan Academy. I am grateful to Google and Girl Scouts for providing me with this amazing, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

City, Feature story
Minimum-wage earners left in the lurch when B.C. residents skip the tips
44% of B.C. residents never tip in coffee shops according to a recent survey
By Holly McKenzie-Sutter , in City Feature story , on March 27, 2017
While many British Columbians will throw down a few dollars for a coffee to wake up in the morning or to take advantage of free WiFi, an overwhelming number of people walk away without leaving anything in the servers' tip jar.
Baristas don't receive tips from 44 per cent of British Columbians
Forty-four per cent of B.C. residents never tip in coffee shops, according to a recent survey by Insights West. Metro Vancouver residents are among the stingiest.
And when Mario Canseco, vice-president at Insights West, went on talk shows to explain the data, he was surprised by the impassioned response. What it reveals, he says, is a picture of how we interpret service.
Really, this shouldn't be a surprise.
People have different rationales based on whether someone brings food to your table, how complicated the drink is, how expensive the order is to begin with, and a number of other factors. One thing is clear: tipping policies are personal.
The online treasure trove of emotional think pieces on the topic proves that individuals aren't afraid of staking out their opinions on tipping.
A recent opinion piece from The Daily Hive, a Vancouver online publication, titled "Why I'm Sick of Automatic Tipping," rails against the many service jobs that the author considers unworthy of an extra 15 to 20 per cent. It concludes with a mic drop that will surely change the way the service industry in this province pays its employees:
"Give me the opportunity to decide whether or not I want to give you a tip. And if you try to decide for me with your ridiculous automatic tip options? I can guarantee I'll hit $0 every time," wrote Amy Beeman.
Digital payment methods force people to think more and leave less
The shift towards digital payment methods hasn't gone unnoticed by Canseco, either. He says the pressure to take the extra time to calculate the tip on the screen has an impact on people's thought process.
"It might be a natural reaction to drop a couple of dimes in the jar and walk away," says Canseco. "The machine changes that" when it forces you to think about how much you really want to leave.
Barista Alexandra Jones says she takes notice of customers who don't tip when paying digitally.
"If someone pays in cash and doesn't tip, I can understand that," says Jones. "Maybe they needed their change for bus fare. But the Interac machine at my shop has a specific screen that prompts you for tips, so if you're paying with debit or credit, you don't get to passively ignore the issue of whether to tip or not."
Minimum wage earners under strain in an expensive city
Tipping is about more than just a personal gesture for servers. Even the recently raised minimum wage of $10.85 per hour, a common salary for coffee-shop workers, isn't enough for many people to live on, especially in one of Canada's most expensive cities. Vancouver's living wage is estimated at $20.64. Canseco says this, in combination with high rents for commercial spaces, makes small businesses less receptive to paying employees more money.
"Minimum wage is already low, and when that is tied to obscene real estate prices, you have an issue," says Canseco.
Experience lends empathy – and small change
Politics aside, people with generous tipping policies tend to be those who have been on the other side of the counter – a factor that may explain why millennials are more likely to leave at least a small tip in most situations. Two out of five of people over the age of 55 will leave nothing if service was not satisfactory.
After working in a café for over a year, Shannon McMullin says she "always overtips" when purchasing food at an outlet.
"If it was actually bad service, they still get 15 per cent because I don't know what they're dealing with on the floor that day, and everyone deserves a living wage."

Whispers in the Loggia: On 41's Passing, Recalling "Bush's Bishop"
Given the tide of mourning over Friday's death at 94 of George H.W. Bush, when it comes to this beat, one piece of the 41st President's legacy bears particular note, all the more as its impact extends into the present.
At its core, next year marks the 35th anniversary of the establishment of full relations between the Holy See and the US. Though the bilateral ties are easily taken for granted today, if anything – fraught as it was with anti-Catholic prejudice and conspiracy theories – the path to Washington's diplomatic recognition of the Pope took almost a century to accomplish, and were it not for Bush, odds are the wait would've stretched even longer.
In a way, that owed itself to a quirk of history... well, one among others.
In 1974, six years before the Texas bureaucrat's election as Ronald Reagan's Vice President, the Federal government finally got around to giving its #2 an official residence: a house on the grounds of the Naval Observatory, located along the Massachusetts Avenue heart of "Embassy Row." Yet as it happened, the move would be an unwitting boon for the Vatican – since 1939, the Holy See's base of operations in the States, then known as the Apostolic Delegation, was located right across the street.
At the time, the state of affairs meant that, in the absence of formal relations, the Apostolic Delegates – in place since 1893 – were the Pope's emissary solely to the US church, with no status before the government. (On the flip-side, after President Franklin D. Roosevelt proved unable to establish full relations due to lingering suspicion toward the church from Protestant senators, the late 1930s saw FDR institute a "personal representative" of the President to the Holy See, who served as an ambassador in all but name.) Yet by the time the Bushes arrived at the VP's house, their presence joined other sea-changes on the global front in giving the century-old impasse the momentum to shift.
Despite the absence of full diplomatic ties, the early 1980s already saw a tightening of American and Vatican interests. In 1978, the election of John Paul II brought to Peter's Chair a figure whose deep personal experience with the States was without precedent for a Pope, an attribute born from multiple extended visits, and just as much through a network of Polish-American contacts who quietly funneled sizable aid for their homeland's suffering church and its resistance to the Communist regime in large part through the cardinal-archbishop of Krakow.
In that light, per custom at the change of pontificates, the new Pope made the Washington posting a key early target of his geopolitical strategy, naming Archbishop Pio Laghi – whose prior assignments in the Holy Land and Argentina made him a heavyweight of the Vatican's foreign service – as his Delegate to the US within days of Reagan's election. And while the courtly Italian, whose patrician bearing masked his simple upbringing, would openly execute one revolution – stacking the American hierarchy with prelates who reflected a bolstered sense of Catholic identity – a second, stealth effort would fuse Pope and President in a multi-front campaign to dismantle the Iron Curtain, a push in which Reagan's deputy would play a linchpin role long before Bush's own administration presided over its formal demise.
Having remained in the post through his friend's election to the Presidency and the fall of the Berlin Wall – while internally overseeing a sweeping recast of the Stateside bench in John Paul's image and likeness – Laghi was recalled to Rome in 1990 as prefect of the Congregation for Catholic Education and made a cardinal months later.
Since his departure, no occupant of the Washington posting has approached his length of tenure in it.
Almost always seen as the most influential Vatican legate the US has known in its era as a hegemonic superpower, Laghi's decade in the capital still endures as a point of reference, and the man himself was discreetly sought out for high-level American efforts or advice in Rome practically until his own passing in 2009.
In the best-known of those moments, as the White House push for a second war in Iraq gathered steam in early 2003, the former Pro-Nuncio was tapped by John Paul as his personal emissary to President George W. Bush, tasked with returning to Washington to convey the Pope's intense opposition to the campaign.
While the choice of messenger indicated the most concerted engagement for peace that the Vatican could make, of course, the mission (carried out during 40-minute Oval Office talks with "43") proved futile. Upon departing the capital, the cardinal "realized that the Bush administration was very naïve about the consequences of war" – a sense that would only be revealed after his death.
Though all but a handful of Laghi's appointees are long gone from office, several of the young local aides from his US posting were subsequently named to the bench and remain atop the American hierarchy: a group led by the sitting cardinal-archbishops of New York and Chicago, two of the nation's three largest dioceses.
Of all the "Laghini," however, the DC aide invariably described as the most beloved was Msgr Bernie Yarrish, a son of Scranton whose own elevation was precluded by a two-decade battle with multiple sclerosis. At 67, Yarrish died of the disease in June, with Tim Dolan – who brought his onetime Nunciature-mate to Rome as his Vice-Rector at the North American College (Yarrish's final major assignment) – leading the sendoff at the fallen cleric's boyhood parish.
Laghi's fifth successor at 3339 Massachusetts, the current Nuncio to the US, Archbishop Christophe Pierre, will be the Holy See's representative at Wednesday's state funeral for Bush in Washington National Cathedral – sitting not with the delegations of ecumenical clergy, but the diplomatic corps.
In keeping with the procedures on the death of a former President, President Trump has declared Wednesday as a national day of mourning; among other entities, the Federal government will be closed in tribute, as will the financial markets, and mail delivery will be suspended.
On another protocol note, church institutions with flagpoles are advised that the US flag is to be flown at half-staff until sunset on New Year's Eve – 30 days from 41's passing. However, where applicable, the custom does not extend to the Vatican flag – as it represents a sovereign entity, the Holy See's banner is lowered solely upon the death of the Roman pontiff through the subsequent Novemdiales, the nine-day mourning period that precedes a Conclave.

New Tolkien novel
For someone who has been under the sod for more than four decades, J.R.R. Tolkien certainly is quite prolific. He has a new novel out: The Story of Kullervo!
I have yet to read The Children of Húrin. Now I think that I'll read the two novels together sometime this autumn.
The future of RuneQuest and the Call of Cthulhu
The dramatic recent developments at Chaosium, and its new relationship with the Design Mechanism, generated a fair amount of discussion on a number of RPG discussion boards (e.g., RPGnet, BRP Central, and the DM forum). Overall, though, I think that these changes clearly bode well for the future of both the RuneQuest and the Call of Cthulhu games.
The biggest downside to the new arrangement, in my view, is the likely disappearance of an in-print setting-free version of RuneQuest one year from now. That's a real pity. I worry that baking Glorantha into the RQ core book will create a barrier for potential players who are interested in RQ – say, for their own settings, or for those supported by the DM (e.g., Mythic Britain, Luther Arkwright, Classic Fantasy) – but not in Glorantha. I have nothing against Glorantha. (It's not really my cup of tea, so it's unlikely that I would ever run games in it myself, but I'd be fine with playing in a Glorantha campaign.) I just think that everyone would be better served with a setting-free version of the RQ core rules and a separate campaign book for Glorantha. It's early days, though, so perhaps a setting-free version of RQ (even simply the 'RQ Essentials' PDF) might survive.
That complaint aside, though, having RuneQuest distributed alongside Chaosium's other games will be a great boon for the game and its community.
As for the Call of Cthulhu, the print version of the new edition has been stalled for far too long, and the PDF version needs to be cleaned up. Getting the 7th edition rules finished up and in stores is key to keeping the game and its community healthy. Right now one can purchase modules that use the 7e CoC rules in game shops, but not the rule books for those modules. Fixing up, publishing, and distributing 7e CoC is the top priority for the 'new' Chaosium, and rightfully so. Whatever one thinks of the 7e version of CoC (I think it's fine, though I thought 6e was just fine as well), it is time to get those wheels turning!
In short, with the new leadership at Chaosium, and its new relationship with the Design Mechanism, the future for the two premier 'BRP' ('d100') games – RuneQuest and Call of Cthulhu – looks very bright.

A new Dungeons and Dragons movie? Uh oh...
[How can the 2000 film ever be topped?]
Make a saving roll versus aesthetic outrage. Apparently there is a new Dungeons and Dragons film in the works:
The upcoming Warner Bros motion picture will be based on a script by David Leslie Johnson (Wrath of the Titans) and produced by Roy Lee (The Lego Movie, How To Train Your Dragon) with the involvement of Hasbro chief executive Brian Goldner and chief content officer Stephen Davis. It will take place in the popular D&D campaign setting of the Forgotten Realms.
Well, at least it's not going to be based on those horrible Dragonlance novels.

Leicestershire County Council
Residents hit out at humps horror in Barwell
PEOPLE living in a Barwell street which is home to the borough's newest speed humps claim they are creating more problems than they are solving.
Ben Eccleston
The five humps have been placed along the length of Hinckley Road by Leicestershire County Council in a bid to cut speeding.
However residents have hit out at the latest additions to the village, claiming that the only people slowing down are those who live on the street.
One resident, who didn't want to be named, said: "There are many of us seriously concerned about our vehicles as over a period of time the humps will age our suspension, not forgetting increasing our fuel consumption.
"The vehicles that come into Barwell are lorries and buses - fortunately for them, they can straddle the humps and have no need to slow down. Motorbikes too can weave in between the humps.
"We are having to re-think driving into our village via a different route, which increases our fuel consumption. Perhaps whoever made this decision would like to explain why this has been implemented and no thought has been made or no consultation with residents.
"Our decision, if they had consulted us, would have been to move the lorry depot to the proposed building/industrial site, giving them direct access to the A447 which would mean that Barwell residents would not have to endure their constant thundering in and out of our village.
"A chicane system would have worked far better and been kinder to vehicles."
A neighbour, who also wished to remain anonymous, said: "There are other ways they could have sorted the speeding out. They could have put a chicane in as now people are zooming between the humps, then slowing down to creep over the hump and then zooming off again. The speeding just now happens in smaller stages rather than just all the way down there."
A spokesman for Leicestershire County Council, said: "The site was assessed following concerns raised by the parish council and we found that the majority of drivers were travelling at excessive speeds.
"Evidence from sites where we have introduced speed cushions has shown that they are one of the most effective speed-reducing features available to us. Consultation was carried out with residents before any work was carried out."

Среднебелла́г (Средне-бельский исправительно-трудовой лагерь) — подразделение, действовавшее в структуре Главного управления исправительно-трудовых лагерей Народного комиссариата внутренних дел СССР (ГУЛАГ НКВД СССР).

История
Среднебеллаг выделен в самостоятельное подразделение в структуре НКВД СССР в апреле 1939 года на базе расформированного в том же году Дальлага. Управление Среднебеллаг располагалось на станции Средне-Белая Амурской железной дороги (ныне ст. Среднебелая Ивановского района Амурской области). В оперативном командовании он подчинялся первоначально Управлению исправительно-трудовых лагерей и колоний Управления НКВД по Хабаровскому краю (УИТЛК УНКВД Хабаровского края), а позднее — непосредственно ГУЛАГу НКВД. В 1948 году вошёл в структуру Управления МВД Амурской области.

Производство
Основным видом производственной деятельности заключенных Среднебеллага было сельскохозяйственное производство.

Q: How to implement Feature Flags in AngularJS and Ruby on Rails? For an app with Rails Backend and AngularJS at the front, How to implement Feature Flags or in other words conditional features per user?
This Video gave some glimpse on how to do that, which looks quite crude to me.
I am using Rollout Gem for this authorization. In case, the feature flags are implemented totally on client-side, I feel that would be "Not So Secure and Robust way of Disabling/Enabling features"
I can't use <% if $rollout.active?(:chat, current_user) %> in the partials since they are not ERBs, but HTML pages used as angular templates.
Thank you in advance.

A: So you could use JWT. JWT is a token that you can use with your rails app to authenticate the users. Imagine it like a hotel card. Depending on how much you paid, you get access to some services or others. It could let you access the garage or the breakfast.
Going to technical details, when a user logs in in your app, rails will create one of those tokens and rails can put there any flag you want, so you can send a token containing:
{user_id: 3, rollout: true, admin: true}

So in the Angular side, you can parse that token and activate the sections you need, something along this lines:

So based on what you get in the token, some sections of the page will appear.
The token cannot be tampered, so the end user can't modify it because the server will reject it.
In Angular itself you cannot do too much else, any user could create a user object and put all the flags to true, but it is the rails API who decides what the user can see, so the maximum that use could get is an empty admin page without any data, but that is not avoidable.
If you want to learn more about JWT, here is the idea and here examples (including a rails one)
